Description

Despite their small size, the adrenal glands play an important
role in the body, producing numerous hormones that impact our
development and growth, affect our ability to deal with stress, and
help to regulate kidney function. In Adrenal Fatigue For
Dummies, you'll find clear self-evaluations and treatment
guidelines that will empower you to take charge of your adrenal
health through nutrition, vitamins, herbs, bioidentical adrenal
hormone supplementation, and self-care practices.

Adrenal fatigue is in essence a "tired out" adrenal gland that
is not able to support the body the way that it should. The effects
can be far-reaching and affect the quality of one's daily life. It
can affect the immune system, cause inflammation, decrease sex
drive, and inhibit the ability to get up in the morning. But now
there's hope!
